Summer Kiss

Chapter 189 Missing Him After Just One Night Apart
Chen Yihua wasn't idle either. While eating the fragrant roasted meat, she asked, "Jiang Yuning, you're a good person in some ways, but not so good in others."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuning didn't quite understand what Chen Yihua was trying to express.

Chen Yi cleared her throat and said, "Is it because you're easy to get along with? You get along better with Meng Shuyu than anyone else. You can support her and share your clients with her."

"You're not easy to get along with, but you always keep a certain distance from the other people in the design department."

Maintaining a proper distance is essential to avoid conflict, Meng Shuyu couldn't help but interject, "It seems you haven't integrated with them either."

Jiang Yuning smiled and said, "In this life, a few close friends are enough. Chen Yihua, there is a fundamental difference between colleagues and close friends. I think you should understand that."

Chen Yihua was well aware that close friends could keep in touch frequently, but colleagues were often limited to interactions in the workplace.

She fully understands this.

“Jiang Yuning, of course I understand what you mean.”

Just as they were engrossed in this topic, Meng Shuyu's gaze was drawn to a scene not far away. She had just taken a sip of water when she choked.

She covered her mouth and coughed violently.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuning quickly and gently patted her back.

Xie Linzhou, that womanizing man, is absolutely infuriating to her!
Seeing that Meng Shuyu was staring at a certain spot without moving, Jiang Yuning followed her gaze and saw Xie Linzhou sitting opposite a woman, sharing a barbecue feast.

Even though Xie Linzhou had his back to them, Meng Shuyu recognized him at a glance.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide. She saw Xie Linzhou pour a glass of hot water for the woman sitting opposite her. She had never received such special treatment when she ate with him.

This sudden action instantly dampened Meng Shuyu's spirits, and an unknown jealousy quietly began to grow within her.

Jiang Yuning noticed Meng Shuyu's unusual behavior and spoke softly, her tone full of concern.

"Shuyu, don't stay here sulking. After we finish eating, send a WeChat message or make a phone call to ask. Sometimes what we see with our eyes isn't the truth."

Chen Yihua was completely confused by their conversation, and her curiosity was like a cat's claws, itching to get her.

She asked in confusion, "What's making Meng Shuyu so upset?"

Meng Shuyu glared at her and quickly changed the subject.

"This is none of your business. Just enjoy your barbecue. Listening to gossip is not a good habit."

Chen Yihua turned her head slightly and looked behind her. Suddenly she laughed out loud, as if she had guessed something.

"You're so angry, is your boyfriend having an affair with another woman?"

Chen Yi's guess was surprisingly accurate, and she actually guessed right.

To stop Chen Yihua from asking further questions, Meng Shuyu quickly stuffed a piece of watermelon into Chen Yihua's mouth, trying to seal her mouth shut with the watermelon.

"I can't even shut your mouth when I eat."

Jiang Yuning smiled faintly as she watched their interaction. She felt a strange warmth in her heart; their way of getting along seemed quite nice.

Just then, her phone vibrated a few times. Jiang Yuning picked it up and saw that it was a WeChat message from Fu Xicheng.

She took a picture of the barbecue and sent it to Fu Xicheng.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Meng Shuyu moved closer to Jiang Yuning, almost causing Jiang Yuning to lose her balance and drop her phone.

She seemed to have noticed something, and her words were full of envy, "Yu Ning, Mr. Fu is so good at talking. Are you as sweet as sugar every day when you're with him?"

Jiang Yuning did not answer directly, but responded with a meaningful rhetorical question, "What do you think?"

Jiang Yuning lowered her head and continued to savor the roasted meat on her plate. She asked a question, intending to let Meng Shuyu fill in the blanks herself.

After the barbecue lunch, the relationship between the four of them seemed to have improved considerably.

After dinner, Meng Shuyu didn't go back with them. She planned to confront Xie Linzhou directly; she wouldn't tolerate any dissent.

Jiang Yuning drove Chen Yihua and the others back to the company.

When the other people in the design department saw the three of them return together, they all gave them a few more glances.

They were quite surprised that Jiang Yuning had joined them.

Ignoring the stares of the design department staff, Jiang Yuning walked to her workstation and found a cup of milk tea on her desk.

A white label was attached to the milk tea bag, and Jiang Yuning looked down at the contents of the label.

When she saw the note, her heart was touched; this delicate care touched the softest part of her heart.

This was a surprise that Fu Xicheng brought her.

Jiang Yuning parted her lips slightly and murmured softly, "Fu Xicheng, I love you to death."

She opened WeChat and sent Fu Xicheng a lot of kissing emojis.

The next second, Fu Xicheng's video call came in.

Jiang Yuning immediately turned down her phone volume, plugged in her earphones, and went to the break room.

It was lunchtime, and there was no one in the tea room.

Jiang Yuning walked to the innermost part of the tea room, leaned against the window, and answered the video call.

What came into view was that familiar and profound face.

Fu Xicheng smiled, his eyes filled with longing, "Ningning, I miss you."

He missed her after just one night apart, and she missed Fu Xicheng too.

Jiang Yuning's gentle voice came through the phone screen, "Eat well in Kyoto, eat lots of fruit. Only by resting well can your body recover quickly."

Fu Xicheng rubbed his temples and sighed, "With you not here, there's no one to massage my temples anymore."

Even if she wasn't there, there were others. She trusted the housekeeper and Xu Yansheng; they would definitely be willing to serve him.

"Ningning, what are you thinking about again?"

Jiang Yuning's eyes darted around for a moment, and she said, "I wasn't thinking about anything, I was just thinking that you could have the housekeeper massage your temples."

Couldn't Jiang Yuning understand what he meant?

He wanted her to give him a massage.

"His technique isn't as good as yours."

Jiang Yuning didn't believe it. Fu Xicheng hadn't even tried it, so how could he know the butler didn't know how to give a massage?

He's started lying through his teeth again.

"So you need to get better soon."

Fu Xicheng stood up and switched the camera.

Jiang Yuning saw a mountain of blue folders piled up on the desk.

She looked at the folders with a worried expression, her brow furrowed. "Fu Xicheng, when will you finish processing all these documents?"

"Don't just sit there burying your head in documents; get up and move around occasionally."

"Don't worry, I won't tire myself out."

Another thing came to Jiang Yuning's mind, "You stayed up late last night. Once you're better, I'll have to teach you a lesson."
